    Abstract: The superplastically formed structural assembly includes first and second structural members having facing surfaces. The first and second structural members can include a first outer structural member, a second outer structural member or at least one intermediate structural member. In one embodiment, the first and second structural members include first and second outer structural members. In another embodiment, the first and second structural members include first and second intermediate structural members. The structural assembly includes at least one friction stir weld joint joining the first and second structural members. In one embodiment, the facing surface of the first structural member is at least partially covered with oxide to prevent thermo-compression welding of the first and second structural members adjacent the at least one friction stir weld joint. In another embodiment, the facing surface of the second structural member is at least partially covered with oxide.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for attaching a first element (1) of a first material to a second element of a second material by a welding process, said two materials being substantially not weldable to each other, said first element (1) being connected to a third element (3) of said second material, which third element (3) is brought in contact with said second element (2), whereafter said third element (3) is welded to said second element (2) via a throughgoing hole (4) in said first element (1), and for the purpose of providing a product with reduced weight and a method which is suited for automatic equipment, it is according to the present invention suggested that there is used a third element (3) comprising a substantially cup-shaped means (3a) having an extending collar (3b) at its open end (3c) and being arranged with a close fit in said hole (4), whereafter the bottom (3d) of said substantially cup-shaped means (3a) is welded to said second element (2).
